Thank you for everything! We appreciate all of your efforts and can't wait to get our SDG&E bills now.
We started working with Empowered because we wanted to save money, and we could help the environment and save money at the same time, so much the better. What we didn't expect was all the other benefits.
Because they took the time to understand all of our usage, they figured out that we could save money by converting our old electric dryer to a new natural gas dryer. They identified a lot of things like this � where we could save power first so that they could install the smallest system possible instead of the biggest they could get away with. This was really important to us because I have a beautiful garden and I wanted to be able to tuck the solar system away out of sight and they made that possible. They also tackled our lighting, which was not easy because as an artist, lighting is very important to me and it has to be just right. This is where they really differentiated themselves because they kept working with us, until it felt right, and it does.
Another great thing is that they actually improved the house; by doing all those things to save energy they made it more comfortable as well. When we first started this project they told us that their method of looking at the whole building and really understanding it would make a big difference � that we�d get better results � not just cheaper but better than if we just installed solar. Having been through the process, I have to say that I agree.
